About Super Novices

Super Novices are a Job Class with access to nearly every first-class skill. They can also obtain specialized gear from NPCs and monsters that greatly improves their survivability. They are considered one of the most versatile classes, making the process of creating a build both didactic and fun. Super Novices can reach Job Level 99, making them the only class capable of exceeding Job Level 70. Additionally, they have access to their own unique Cart, should they choose to obtain one.

Of course, the class has its downsides. Like all Novices, Super Novices have a very low HP and SP pool. They also lose access to the Play Dead skill. Despite having access to specialized equipment, they are still limited to the equipment that a normal Novice can use.

Super Novice Secrets

Being a Super Novice has its benefits as well as it's disadvantages and the class of Super Novice remains to be explored by many adventurers. Here are the secrets of Super Novicehood.

Doridori

A super novice insists that head-shaking supposedly speeds up their SP restoration. Using the command "/doridori" restores SP two times faster. Using the command too fast will not work, you need to shake your head approximately 2 times per second and at least 6 times in total. If done at the proper pace and at least 6 times, the next SP recovery tick will be doubled. This only applies to SP recovered by the skills such as Increase SP Recovery and only functions while sitting.

Guardian Angel

A Super Novice has their own level up Angel. When leveling-up, this Guardian Angel is different from those of the other classes. The angel will cast all skills from the following list: Kyrie Eleison, Magnificat, Gloria, Suffragium and Impositio Manus on the Super Novice.

Never give up

According to hearsay, when a Super Novice's HP reaches 0 when their base exp is 99.0%-99.9%, their Guardian Angel may appear to refill their HP and cast Steel Body on the Super Novice. This will not occur again until they relog or gain another level.

Undying Love

A Super Novice will give +1 to every stat when they use the marriage skill Undying Love on their partner. However, the SN's Stats will also all be reduced by 1. This only occurs randomly and temporarily. When used by a Super Novice this skill is also supposed to restore twice the normal amount of SP that Undying Love grants, but this is disabled on Arcadia.

This buff will last 5 minutes the exact chance to proc this is still unknown.

The Power of love

A super novice will heal their partner for 2x the normal amount.

This double heal only applies if the Super Novice is Female and is healing her Partner the class does not matter as long as the wife is a female Super Novice with the active heal.

Really Super

A Super Novice who is job 70 or above can get +10 for all stats with a zero death record. If they die anytime afterwards, they will lose that bonus. This death record can be cleared (and the bonus stats recovered) using Super Novice Spirit with a 1% chance of success per cast. Additionally, the death record can also be cleared by consuming the item Cat O' Nine Lives.

Super Novice Cart

Super Novices get their own special cart for an extra fee (1900z) in Al De Baran behind the Kafra Headquarters in the Northwestern corner of the map.

Fury

A strange phenomenon when the Super Novice's EXP reaches increments of 10% such as, at 10.0%, 20.0% - 80.0%, 90.0%. During these times the Super Novice has been rumored to summon their Guardian Angel for help. If they relog, they have to repeat all the steps but otherwise they can just repeat the last 3 lines to get fury status again. Type the following phrase (or save it to ALT+M for easier use) to get the Fury Status for 3 minutes (critical rate +50):

Guardian Angel, can you hear my voice? ^^;
My name is <insertname>, and I'm a Super Novice~
Please help me~ T.T
<random message>

This buff will be removed when logging out, just repeat the above phrase to buff yourself again.

Super Novice: Life After 99

Upon reaching level 99, a super novice has a few new tricks up its sleeves.

At the moment of reaching 99, a super novice gains +2000 Base HP permanently. This is actual Base HP, and is thus affected by cards and vit.
The two Super Novice Secrets which depend on your current % of Base EXP can still be used, but you must continue leveling to gain the exp required.
To Fury after 99, you still must gain n*10.0x million exp (where n=1,2,3,...).
Upon attaining 99,999,998 additional exp after 99 (as shown on the character select screen), you will be able to use the novice fury chant any time.
Also upon attaining 99,999,998 additional exp after 99, upon reaching 0 HP, you will automatically "resurrect" with 100% HP and SP and gain the Steel Body effect for 15 seconds (no actual death and resurrection occurs; your HP/SP bars just automatically fill up to 100% upon 0 HP). This lifeline is activated only once per login; you can refresh the lifeline by simply re-logging to the character select screen. The lifeline death resets monster aggro.
Upon activating this lifeline, if you currently have a pet out, it will still lose intimacy, so be aware of using pets who gain intimacy slowly. E.g Sohee or Orc Warrior.

Builds

The following Builds are just references. Use the calculator to make a build that fits your playstyle.

Bolter-Instant Cast

STR: 1
AGI: 1
VIT: 1
INT: As high as possible (99 Base). However, DEX is the number 1 priority.
DEX: 150 with bonuses is the ideal number, anything over 145 is acceptable. Remember that as long as you don't have 150 DEX, when there is a choice between INT or DEX equips, ALWAYS get DEX.
LUK: 9

Suggested Skills:

While Sages and Wizards dream about a life without the Cast Bar, for Super Novices it can become a reality. You'll see Wizards casting Fire Wall, or maybe Sages running away the moment they start casting, but not you. You'll see the bolts rain down the moment you click. With 99 INT, you'll almost be doing the same damage they will, only much faster. Great for PvM and maybe PvP with good equipment, including MVP or WoE but they won't survive for long. Their major weakness is lack of HP, SP, dodge and defenses (obviously).

As an example, here is the build in the calculator.

Double Attack Build

STR: 99+
AGI: 80\~99+
VIT: 1
INT: 1
DEX: 1+
LUK: 1

Suggested Skills:

Basically 99 AGI, High STR and mid DEX. Reaching 290+ FLEE and 190 ASPD should be possible with Concentration 10 + Earth Petite Pet + Food + Blacksmith & Alchemist Links. Relies on the use of level 4 elemental daggers or 1H Swords. Ice pick for High DEF mobs (endow if needed). For fire, Red Twin Edge of Nacht Sieger[3]; for water, Blue Twin Edge of Nacht Sieger[3]; for wind, Kamaitachi; For earth, Terrashard; for Holy, Excalibur/Grand Cross; for Shadow, Mistilteinn/Tyrfing/Ginnungagap[1]; for Ghost, Immaterial Sword; and for non elemental Curved Sword[2]. Remember to use Sidewinder Card on all non-dagger weapons to make use of Double Attack and to have Super Novice Link active to weild the Level 4 weapons listed above. It also relies heavily on the use of Steel Body to survive. Thus having 100 million EXP after level 99 is key. Gear can get very specific and demanding. This build has a hard time against Magic sources of damage. In the future It can get 100% crit with Platinum Shotel[1], thus removing the need for dex.

As an example, here is the build in the calculator.

Critical Build

STR: 80+
AGI: 99+
VIT: 1
INT: 1
DEX: 40+
LUK: 10+ (or more)

Suggested Skills:

Basically 99 AGI, High STR and mid DEX. Reaching 190 ASPD should be possible with Concentration 10 + Earth Petite Pet + Food + Blacksmith and Alchemist Links. Uses Fury to increase CRIT and DEX to further increase ASPD. It relies on the use of Dagger of Counter (endow accordingly), making CRIT 90 as base. Using Fury is necessary as to get the 50 + CRIT Bonus, this way you reach 100% Crit no matter the Crit Shield of the monster you farm. In the future It can get 100% crit with Platinum Shotel[1] + Fury. This build has a hard time against Neutral Element monsters and Magic Damages.

As an example, here is the build in the calculator.

Full Support

STR: 1
AGI: 60+
VIT: 60+
INT: 99
DEX: 1
LUK: 1

Suggested Skills:

This build can fully support a party. Utilizing the Acolyte Skills, Safety Wall to protect one's party mates, Envenom to stop SP recovery, Detoxify and Cure to remove status ailments and Provoke to interrupt casting time of opposing monsters or wizards (in WoE/PvP). Remember that if this build is done on a Female Super Novice then she will be able to heal her partner with a multiplier of 2.

Spellblade Build

STR: 20
AGI: 80+
VIT: 1
INT: 99
DEX: 40
LUK: 1

Suggested Skills:

Basically High Int and AGI, with ~40DEX and low STR, Uses Fury to increase CRIT and DEX to increase HIT, that way the attacks hit no matter what thus triggering spells. This builds benefits from 190 ASPD, for which you'd need the use of Blacksmith/Alchemist/SN Links. Builds relies on Autocast Weapons. For fire, Fireblend [1] + Mutant Dragonoid Card / Caldering Card / Kasa Card (not implemented yet), maybe Imp Cards (not implemented yet). For water, Ice Falchion [1] + 2 Gazeti/Siroma Cards + Marin Crown Hat. For wind, Vortexblade [1] + Hornisse Card + 2 Potello Cards or Wind Ghost Cards. For earth, Terrashard [1] + Pitman + 2 Lovering Cards. For Holy Grand Cross [0/1] + Vulture Card + 2 Cookie Cards.

As an example, here is the build in the calculator.
